Provides state-of-the-art in-depth knowledge on the principles devices and applications of
collinear holography In the era of Big Data traditional magnetic and optical storage
technologies are unable to satisfy the growing demand for reliable scalable cost-effective
and energy-efficient data storage. Holographic storage considered the most promising
technology for meeting the future storage needs of the information age adopts a
three-dimensional volume storage mode with a theoretical storage density vastly greater than
conventional optical disks. Collinear Holography: Devices Materials Data Storage is a
comprehensive up-to-date account of the volumetric recording technology that combines large
storage capacities with high transfer rates and exceptional reliability in optical data storage
systems. Written by pioneers in the field this authoritative book provides detailed coverage
of the key technological approaches theories applications systems devices and components
in the rapidly advancing field of holographic data storage. * Explains the principles of
collinear holography its different system setups key devices and components and current
challenges * Describes the materials data and media formats servo controls and read write
characteristics of collinear holography storage systems * Details collinear holography in
current applications such as holo-printing correlation and encryption *Discusses futures
technologies including the Holographic Versatile Disc (HVD) and the The Holographic Versatile
Card (HVC) Collinear Holography: Devices Materials Data Storage is an indispensable resource
for applied physicists electrical engineers and materials and information scientists in both
academia and industry.
